Will Google Remove the “Dislike” Button on YouTube?

If you’re a YouTuber, like myself, then you probably hate the dislike button on YouTube. The dislike button plays no real roll to viewers and content creators. In fact, it probably adds more stress than good! Surprisingly enough, Google has made no effort to speak their voice on why the button has not been removed. Is it possible that Google may be getting rid of the dislike button on YouTube?

You may have noticed a new design for the +1 button for Google+. With a new design, one must think if YouTube will change anything up. If you aren’t aware, YouTube is owned by Google. With plenty of complaints about the dislike button on YouTube, will Google take action?

A rumor has sprung up that Google has already started to push out a new update on YouTube that removes the dislike button. As you see from the picture above, you no longer see a dislike or like button. You will notice there is a +1 button for Google+. Let us take a look a bit closer. Do you notice the “like” section of the button isn’t centered, vertically. Would you honestly think Google would let something so basic slip by their designers? Could this photo be photoshopped or is this the real thing?
